Explore #198 - Dec. 8, 2007

Gunner is one of our newer dogs in our Search and Rescue group, Southwest Search Dogs. Besides his great looks, he's got a fantastic personality that suits Search and Rescue perfectly.

Our training today was up in the Cuyamaca Mountains and it snowed for the first time this season. It made a beautiful background for the photo session, but I had to shoot fast because my camera was getting wet.

I used my flash on this shot to give him the catchlights in his eyes, but I also like the reflections in Gunner's eyes in his other photo, where I didn't use flash. Besides, I'm not crazy about catchlights in their noses. (I wonder if the fact that the catchlight is in a different place in each eye means that his eyes move independently of each other.)
